Our HR “coordinates” with us and it’s not much better.

The form clearly states that they start on the 15th, then ask on the 10th why the user can’t start work.

They put the wrong office location so we ship their equipment to the office listed on the form then ask why the user can’t start work.

They send an immediate termination notice for a user that leaves at the end of the month, then ask why the user can’t work.

They mark that the new hire doesn’t need a laptop on the new hire form, then ask why the user can’t work.

It’s almost like the forms are intended to convey information for others to act on.

Maybe I’m just getting old but the gameplay loop of Rockstar games has gotten tired. RDR2 was gorgeous but the mission formula was just so boring.

If I’m using the computer I’m in a program. If I’m not using it, it’s asleep. Don’t really get the point of anything other than solid black.

I don’t understand why today’s standards require background for everything. We don’t get Ripley’s backstory in Alien and it’s not needed. Even in Aliens, we only get her backstory (her having/outliving a daughter) in service of the plot and themes.

I hate being forced to sympathize with characters because of their tragic backstory. Why not write a compelling character through their actions? Tight plots with no filler are where it’s at for action movies.

The Goonies

I think it’s technically supposed to be an acknowledgement that the message was received.
